P38 diesel

[Dougal]

Does anyone have the specs on the P38 diesel engine?
This is the BMW 2.5l 6 cyl turbo diesel.

Even a model code or other vehicles it was fitted to would be a start.

To answer some of my own questions.

Found out it's a M51 model code and indirect injection.
The torque output suggests it's not running more than about 12psi boost. I was hoping they'd be direct injection and capable of a little tickling. But indirect injection with the weaker heads I'd rather not monkey with.
